βοΈ PowerTraderAI+ Integration
DEX Trading
from pt_dex_integration import OneInchManager
# Initialize 1inch integration
oneinch = OneInchManager(
api_key="your_api_key",
chain_id=1, # Ethereum
wallet_address="0xYourAddress"
)
# Get best swap quote
quote = await oneinch.get_swap_quote(
from_token="ETH",
to_token="USDC",
amount=1.0 # 1 ETH
)
print(f"Best rate: {quote.to_amount} USDC for 1 ETH")
print(f"Price impact: {quote.price_impact}%")

π¨ Troubleshooting
Common Issues
High Gas Costs
Error: "Transaction would cost $100 in gas"
Solutions:
- Use Polygon or BSC for lower costs
- Wait for lower gas prices
- Use gas tokens (CHI, GST2)
- Consider Layer 2 solutions
Insufficient Liquidity
Error: "High price impact detected"
Solutions:
- Reduce trade size
- Use limit orders instead of market
- Split large trades across time
- Check alternative networks
Failed Transactions
Error: "Transaction reverted"
Solutions:
- Increase slippage tolerance
- Check token approvals
- Verify wallet balance
- Update gas price estimates
API Limits
